The community is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Nadereh Hayem, who left this world on November 16, 2025, at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center.
Her departure marks a moment of profound loss for all who knew her, for Nadereh was more than simply a familiar face in the community she was an honorable and respected presence whose kindness, resilience, and quiet strength touched many lives.
Her absence will be felt widely, and her memory will be held with tenderness by all who had the privilege of crossing her path.
Nadereh’s life was shaped by a deep sense of dignity and compassion. Those who knew her remember her as someone who carried herself with grace, offering understanding and warmth even in the simplest interactions.
Whether through a gentle conversation, a thoughtful gesture, or her consistent willingness to help others, Nadereh made an impact that extended far beyond words.
She was the type of person whose presence made others feel seen and valued, and this quality earned her the admiration and respect of countless community members over the years.
Her passing has stirred heartfelt grief among friends, neighbors, and organizations who had come to rely on her sense of integrity and her steadfast character. Communities are often defined by individuals who quietly hold them together by those who demonstrate empathy, reliability, and humanity.
Nadereh was one of those individuals. The loss of such a person leaves a noticeable void, and the mourning shared by so many speaks to the lasting impression she made during her lifetime.
In the wake of this loss, the MOM Foundation has organized a fundraiser to assist with burial expenses and to honor Nadereh’s memory with the respect and dignity she deserves. The initiative reflects the community’s appreciation for her life and its desire to support her final journey with care.
Fundraisers of this kind symbolize more than financial assistance they serve as collective expressions of gratitude, remembrance, and solidarity.
They allow individuals to come together in support of a cause rooted in compassion, especially when a beloved member of the community has passed away.
Community members are encouraged to contribute to this fundraiser, whether through donations or by spreading the word. Even small gestures carry significant meaning, as they help ensure that Nadereh’s memory is honored in a way that reflects the love and respect she inspired.
The MOM Foundation’s efforts stand as a reminder that, in times of loss, communities strengthen one another through acts of generosity and shared remembrance.
As those who knew Nadereh mourn her passing, they also celebrate the life she led the values she embodied, the kindness she extended, and the humanity she brought into the world.
Though she is no longer physically present, the spirit she carried remains alive in the hearts of those who loved her. Her legacy will continue through the stories shared, the lessons remembered, and the compassion that her life inspired in others.
Nadereh Hayem will be dearly missed, but never forgotten.
